Ich lerne jeden Tag Deutsch! Still getting in my daily Deutsch lessons (on Duo, I don't just mean trying to decipher !ich_iel@feddit.de posts!)

I kind of miss studying Chinese as well but I wasn't getting much use from it and a casual watch of any actual Chinese speakers convinced me that Duo was not really teaching me the right way to say things.

Maybe I should get back into Spanish though... it's weird but learning multiple different languages as once actually seems a little easier; it gets the language center of the brain making lots of new connections.

Though, I'm still salty about duolingo changing the free-form lessons into the "learning path" and don't feel motived to work on other languages much. I keep up with German because I'm nearly to a 1000 day streak and my ocd wont allow me to let it drop! Help, the green owl is holding me prisoner with my own mind!

Viel Erfolg beim weiteren Lernen! Wenn du es schon so weit geschafft hast, wirst du es bestimmt auch bis zum 1000. Tag schaffen auch wenn ich hoffe dass es eher aus Freude an der Sache passiert und nicht nur wecen deinem OCD.

Und ich habe auch schon öfter gehört, dass mehrere Sprachen gleichzeitig lernen leichter sein soll. Mich hat Chinesisch als tonale Sprache immer eher abgeschreckt aber Spanisch mochte ich auch gerne lernen :)
